Bath repair in Preston Brook without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Preston Brook
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Signs you need bath repair in Preston Brook
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairing versus replacing in Preston Brook
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
